My father passed away in 1991.

my mother and I get along I guess. I get a lot of my love for music rfrom her and a lot of my political activism from her as well. We have very little in common though and it strains our reltionship a bit.

I would say I love my mom as a son loves their mother but not in the "oh my mom is a saint, so wonderful, greatest person ever etc etc" bullshit. I do not LIKE my mom very much. she is extremely shallow at times, very opinionated yet very naive. She is super quick to judge and very quick to dismiss anyone if they do anything in the slightest that she dislikes or disagrees with.
I was closer to my dad.

I've found that there's something about Diamanda (something quite obvious at that) that really appeals to a lot of women. I've been out with some people who were entirely not into 'weird' music in the slightest but really react positively to Diamanda. She's clearly some sort of witch...

She's a woman. She's effortlessly strong. She does things for the arts. Go figure.

When my mum was pregnant with me, she and my dad went to see T.Rex, who'd not long released "20th Century Boy" All my dad remembers is going mental at all the teenage girls clambering over my mum (and me) trying to touch Bolan's trousers.

My mum cuts to conclusions very fast, without letting me explain things. My mum's great though, an honestly very nice person.

My dad is quiet and doesn't really express anything, he's also an honestly nice person even though he doesn't really know how to handle me (my dad was in hospital for most of his teens, so I don't think he quite knows how it's like).
